Hi there, I was wondering if anyone could explain how I can backup my iPhone direct to an external hard drive. My MacBook doesn’t have enough hdd space to backup direct to it.

You will need third party option for managing backups

But as far as I understand this you have to use their memory sticks.

On YouTube you can find many videos "backup iphone to external hard drive", I have no idea if / how well they work.

I Use iCloud backup for the iPhone and all photos are saved from my MacBook Pro with TimeMachine.
